India A were bowled out for 113 in 39.3 overs on the opening day of the first unofficial Test against New Zealand A at Lincoln. Five batters scored ducks, including KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Washington Sundar, Akash Deep and Mukesh Choudhary, while Dhruv Jurel made 1.
Simon Keene took five wickets for 24 runs to lead New Zealand A's attack. Fraser Sheat dismissed Rahul for a duck, caught by wicketkeeper Mitchell Hay, while Zak Gibson removed Jaiswal for 17 and later accounted for Devdutt Padikkal's 32. Only Yash Rathod offered resistance with an unbeaten 44 off 49 balls.
New Zealand A reached 135 for 3 by stumps, led by Rhys Mariu's 76. The 22-run lead came after Auqib Nabi removed two lower-order batters in the same over. The three-match unofficial series serves as preparation for India's senior Test tour starting in November.
